What the results tell us

With 2,081 members voting, the results speak clearly. "Hell no!" was the standout choice at 36.9% — a strong majority signal that cuts across age groups and member types.

On the gender breakdown, "Hell no!" was slightly more popular among men. It's worth noting that Embrace Dating's community skews female — so women's preferences carry significant weight in shaping these results overall.

"If it comes up, sure" came in second at 31.2% — a meaningful result that shows real diversity in how members approach this question. Dating is personal, and these results remind us that no single answer fits everyone.
